Is Parvati really a Fan Favorite? Eliza? Ami? I personally like them all, but I am not convinced viewers did during their respective seasons. Parvati was put on the Favorites team purely because of her physical attributes, Eliza for her scheming expressions and Ami for her "power to the women" mentality and leadership. Yau-Man and Cirie are certifiable Fan Favorites and justifiably so. Cirie defied all the odds in her season by starting off as a "couch potato" and ending it as one of the most dominant "social players" Survivor has ever seen, in addition to her newfound hunting/survival tools she acquired. Yau-Man dominated many physical and mental challenges, overcoming his unimpressive physical stature. He was always playing the game and never lost sight of the reason he was out there.
I predict that, although the Fans have studied all the previous Favorites and their game-playing abilities, the Favorites will come around, win challenges when they need to, and manipulate like never seen before. Kathy, on the Fan team, and potentially other members will fall prey to the "star" mentality they appreciate from the Favorites. I can envision a scenario of Ami mentoring, upon a tribal switch or merge, a woman and then cutting her throat to move her alliance ahead. I can see Yau-Man sharing his wisdom and lifelong stories to fellow new tribemates and then voting them out. They have the experience in the game, rather than watching from the sidelines. The first loss by the Favorites, I believe, will not continue for long as, with no previous winners in Micronesia, the Favorites are out for blood and in some cases, revenge (Parvati-Jonathan, etc).

Did You Know?
"Fairplay" is the only Survivor Favorite selected that competed on the show prior to the All-Stars season. He was shunned from the All-Star season because of rumored infighting with host Jeff Probst and other CBS personnel/old castmates.
